I'm a doctoral student in the analysis research group of Gero Friesecke. My research focuses on multimarginal optimal transport with an emphasis on computational aspects and genetic algorithms.
I received my bachelor's degree from the University of Göttingen under the supervision of Axel Munk in 2018, and my master's degree from the Technical University of Munich under the supervision of Gero Friesecke in 2021.
